Scream - 04. Broken machine

I'm just a cog in this endless grind
Worn-out teeth left behind
Rust is crawling through my veins
A hollow shell of human remains
They oil me up and turn the key
Another day the same routine
No escape just gears that scream
I am a broken machine

Pieces fall they never fit
Screws are loose I'm done with it
They keep me running but I'm coming apart
No heart no soul just a dying spark

I'm a broken machine left to decay
They wind me up just to throw me away
A slave to the grind a ghost in the steel
Lost all my purpose forgot how to feel

Every turn grinds deeper pain
Sparks ignite but die again
They build me up to watch me fall
A monument to nothing at all
Wires fray and circuits snap
Every patch is just a trap
Their hands keep twisting breaking me clean
I'm not alive - I'm their machine

Pieces fall they never fit
Screws are loose I'm done with it
They keep me running but I'm coming apart
No heart no soul just a dying spark

I'm a broken machine left to decay
They wind me up just to throw me away
A slave to the grind a ghost in the steel
Lost all my purpose forgot how to feel

What's left of me? Just shattered dreams
An empty husk torn at the seams
I scream for help but no one hears
Just endless noise through grinding gears

Rip me apart piece by piece!
Tear out the wires let me cease!
No more control no more chains—
Set me free or end my pain!

I'm a broken machine left to decay
They wind me up just to throw me away
A slave to the grind a ghost in the steel
But I'll burn the system to finally feel!

No more gears no turning key
Just silence now—a broken machine

I often wonder what trace of me will remain — and in this song, I tried to hold on to the hope that love leaves a light behind, even when I’m no longer here to keep it burning.
